usually consign to cider mills. These ma
chimes slice the apples, skin, core and all,
very thin. These thin slices are then
bleached white by the use Of sulphur
fumes.
When thoroughly dry the evaporated
apples are put into sugar barrels and
packed as tight as they can be pressed, so
that a single barrel will hold 200 pounds,
or twenty bushels of apples. These are
then shipped TO New York for expectation
